@reedcrosby I wholeheartedly agree with @refectio and do moderate to that. If it has a sliver of a possible answer, I leave it. You'll find that some comments left as answers contain a lot of blah, blah, blah psychobabble and do not offer any answer, those go into comments. If it only shows a request for clarification I moderate it to a comment. Best is to subscribe to the discussion as suggested by @blakeklein

@blakeklein @evan couple more that need to be removed. https://www.ifixit.com/User/Graph/223587... https://www.ifixit.com/User/Graph/249920... https://www.ifixit.com/User/Graph/248064... Thanks @repair_pug for alerting us. Not sure why his posts on Meta get erased. Any chance you guys can fix that too? Thanks.

@ancientwarrior depends on what you want to comment, share your ideas and opinions on. Start here and see what the community thinks. Update (07/21/2018): @ancientwarrior I recognize your user ID from a couple of questions regarding voltages of equipment you purchase in the USA but use in other countries. As you already know, there is nothing we can do about what voltages specific countries are using ;-) Most devices that have come out in the last few years no longer require the bulky power supplies due to the miniaturization  of componets etc. Those devices usually come with a power brick that powers the device. Easy enough to use that device with other voltages. Simply change the brick to the local input voltage but leaving the output voltage as required by the device. For example, it does not matter if you use a 110V 3Amp power brick or a 240V 3Amp power brick for as long as the output (size of connector and polarity of the connector as well) is the same.Larger devices are most commonly using dual voltage p...

@blakeklein here is one more that would like to move on https://www.ifixit.com/User/2596845/keta...

@blakeklein and or @evan this user https://www.ifixit.com/User/2517399/Pris... seems to be torn between two sites to Spam for. Can you make a definite decision for the user ;-)? These two like to gamble https://www.ifixit.com/User/Contribution... https://www.ifixit.com/User/Contribution...

Rainbow Squirrel (Error401)  is probably looking at the guide page https://www.ifixit.com/Guide and would like the developers to consider adding a grouping for last mile electric vehicles. Sounds like a reasonable request and I am sure that @sam @evan and the dev team could discuss this with the OP.

@evan @sam looks like this one https://www.ifixit.com/User/2544683/Kevi... is hiding the spam as references to what appears as valid questions. All questions have been pulled of other internet forums.

@danj Good for the Aussies but I do not think that the winds will be changing soon. For a company that is making $1,444 per second ($5.2 million per hour, $127 million per day, or $45.7 billion per year, based on 2016 net income figures) source the fine will be covered in about 1.2 hrs. Sure does not sound like such a big fine to me now. Just like any other snake in the grass, they will just burrow deeper and find another way of screwing their customers. This will continue until the fight for the Right to Repair gets settled. However, it is good information for all of us.

@evan @blakeklein now this one https://www.ifixit.com/User/2434609/athm... has got to go. Pretty smart but still a PITA

@kyle and everybody at ifixit, a big Thank You for this. @kaykay @kelsea @sam @evan and many other on your team, have been an incredible source of ongoing support and inspiration. They are the people that keep me going when frustrations set in. Yes, volunteering can cause frustrations and burn-out ;-). It has been and continues my pleasure to help anybody out that needs help. iFixit is probably the best cause and the best forum to do so. I am so glad that I joined this community almost 8 years ago. Just to put those eight years of my life in some sort of perspective, my daughter had just started High School and has now finished her university education and is married to a great guy. So many things have changed, yet some have been the same. The increased resistance to provide us, the consumer, with the means to fix our stuff! We must continue to work together as a united group in breaking down the system that continues to allow this to happen. I am a big supporter of the Right to Repair and I will continue to ...
